Icethetics is going back to its roots. This site was founded in 2007 as the NHL Tournament of Logos blog where a series of polls were held to determine the best mark in big league hockey. Here we are again seven years later going bigger!

Bracket Seeded by ReadersWith this tournament, we're going bigger. First, the seeds were selected by you (after being random in previous tourneys). An album containing all 30 NHL logos was posted to the Icethetics Facebook page. More "likes" earned logos a higher seed.
